What is the GTUK?

 

Global Taekwon-Do United Kingdom is one of the largest Taekwon-Do associations in the UK.

 

It’s founder and president, Master Roy Oldham VIII learnt the martial art from Grand Master Rhee Ki Ha IX, the first Korean instructor sent to the UK by General Choi in the 1960’s. Both Master Oldham and the association are respected throughout the world.

 

The association currently boasts over 100 clubs in England and Scotland, and has strong ties in Scandinavia and Hong Kong. The GTUK host several tournaments throughout the year, to promote the competitive side of the art, and participation is seen as fun and not compulsory.
